HP L7555 My HP L7555 is printing backwards. Any ideas? HP L7580 prints photos backwards (reverse image) - followed the Printing Wizard prompts; it then asks if you want the image to show before printing, i click yes and it is shown reverse image with the only choice left is to either print or cancel.

Hello,

When you go to print something next time, click on Preferences on the Print window. Click on the Advanced tab. There should be a Mirror Image choice and it probably says ON. Click on the ON and change it to OFF with the drop-down menu. Click OK. That should correct the mirror image problem.

As for the paper, I have a hard time printing on 4X6 paper too. Seems to be a common problem with HP. If you would like to accept the mirror image solution and post a separate on, you should get another expert to help you.

In the meantime I will try to research it further.

Thanks for using Fixya.

hi,
it is due to improper driver installation.

You must have the Mirror image option turned on.

Open a document and select File>Print.

When the Print window opens, select the "Preferences" or "Properties". button.

Click on the Advanced tab. Look for the Mirror Image option. If it says "On", click on it and you will get a drop down menu to change it to "Off".

(BTW, the Mirror Image is used for printing iron-on transfers.)

Compare the default printing preferences (Start>Settings>Printers and Faxes) Right-click on the printer icon and select Properties and Printing Preferences. Look for the option to print Mirror image used for printing T-shirt Iron-ons and uncheck the box.

Try this....

Turn off mirror imaging in Printer Preferences . To do this, use the following steps:

1. From the Windows taskbar, click Start and then click Run .
2. Type control printers in the Open box and then press Enter . The Printers and Faxes window displays.
3. Right-click the HP product from the list of printers and then select Properties . The Properties dialog box displays.
4. From the General tab, click Printing Preferences . The Printing Preferences dialog box displays.
5. Click the Advanced tab.
6. Under Printer Features , click Mirror Image , click the down arrow ( ) to the right of the field, and then click Off .
7. Click OK to apply the change.

My HP Officejet Pro L7580 is all of a sudden printing everything backwards?

You may not get the print option in C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/My Pictures, to print from there you shold highlight the picture you want to print then right click on the same you shoul see a option as print left click on it and follow the Photo Printing Wizard and make sure you have the right options selected to your desired printing preferences for paper type and size.
If not open the picture in HP Image Zone, HP Photosmart essential or HP Photosmart Premier as it comes installed in you HP Pavlion compter and then try printing from there.

Good Luck

plz check for ink status and reload the printer
